I once read a quote along the lines of "a good perfume does not announce itself, but rather waits to be discovered...."

So true. In keeping with that, I like to design spaces with treasure hunts tucked over, under and inbetween more traditional objects- allowing for the unexpected discovery of naughty amongst the nice.

One way to accomplish that? Books. There are countless titles that are not just a peep show but rather stimulate you or your guests intellectually as well, thus promoting them from the shadows of your bedside table drawer to center stage on the coffee table.

This is a great one for that.
